A new lease on life?
Something unbelievably great happened recently. I was accepted into Sage College of Albany for graphic design. School is 90% art from here on out. I don't know how to describe to you how amazing this is to me. I'm finally going to be doing what I love, as opposed to what will guarantee me some sort of job. It doesn't matter, I have faith that my art will take me far.
As of yesterday, I am officially unenrolled from SUNY Albany and am officially enrolled in Sage. This is the end of one chapter and possibly one book of my life, and now, on to the sequel. This new beginning holds so much hope for me. It will bring me so much happiness and maybe for once, I will be simply content with life. This is the life I want to live, the life of the artist, the bohemian, the free spirit. I will now have the opportunity to show the world all the beauty they overlook, from the way I see it.
I have had so many interesting experiences in my life, all of which have contributed in one way or another to who I have become, and who I'm still becoming. While I regret some things that have happened or that I have done, I would never take any of it back, because to do so, would be to change who I am now. I am more comfortable in my own skin now than I have ever been in my life. I am confident in myself and my work and know that with the right attitude and mind-set, I can do anything. A few more years of school, and I will be living the life I've always dreamed of.
As to love/companionship, I'm doing well by myself right now. I'm not closing my eyes to whats available to me, I'm just pretty happy doing my own thing at this point in time. I think I need to live these next couple of years for myself, but, if something too good to pass up comes along, who am I to stand in the way of it? This side of life will remain a half open door for now.
Tomorrow will be a good day. I have my orientation at Sage, and I also will receive my first newspaper (I just signed up for home delivery of the weekend papers). I'm looking forward to being in the know about what's going on around me. I'm also looking forward to meeting some of my soon to be fellow classmates.
I've started 2008 with my foot in the right direction. I hope this is indicative of the year to come :)
